Sound like anyone you know? It should, because it's a description of our own Ed Miller, San Diego, Calif., district attorney and subject of an article in the February San DiegoMagazine.
"When it comes to crime - all kinds of crime - Ed Miller is as tough as he looks," the author continues. Outlining the fine record Ed has compiled as D.A., the article stresses that he was also responsible for breaking the strangle hold of C. Arnholt Smith on San Diego politics in a bitter campaign in 1970. One of his major contributions, too, has been to ferret out and fight white-collar crime. All in all, it's an impressive record that should make anyone think twice before plunging into a life of crime - at least around San Diego.
